Happy Sunday, peeps! Hope your weekend has been swell so far! Today the lovely, talented Nance is our hostess with an awesome color challenge for us:
Aren’t they fun? I had all sorts of ideas in my head, but I had one stamp set I hadn’t inked up yet, Around the World, so I got to stamping, stamping, stamping, as my friend Linda says, and made my own designer paper since I didn’t have any in the challenge colors! No problem!
Because of the size of the images, I had some white space between them, so I filled them in with some little images from the Itty Bitties set, sort of keeping with the traveling theme! I used some elements from the Tag a Bag Accessority kit---the label and the twine---to add some interest:
And did you know that the 1” circle punch fits the hexagons from the Six-Sided Sampler set? How cool is that? In fact, that made me so excited, I came up with another card just using those polka dots…but you’ll have to come back later for that! I also added some chevron embossing and a little zigzag trim! And since this will be for my BIL, who is a pilot, I am entering this in the ART challenge 5, which is for masculine birthdays!
How about “traveling” on over to the Paper Players blog so you can see what the others came up with? And share your project with us too! Can’t wait to see it!
Having some fun in the sun (what little we had this week) with cousin Trent:
Enjoy your day!
WOW! I love this! It's one of my favorite sets and what awesome DSP you made with it! It's fantastic! :-)
ReplyDeleteThat is terrific "DSP"! You could be a DSP designer! I thought it was paper at first and wondered what set it was......I should have known better......an s/s/s delight!
ReplyDeleteGreat masculine card! Love the embossing, and that added floss too...and the kids look like they're having a ton of fun!! So glad you joined us for the A.R.T. "Masculine Birthday" challenge...we hope you'll join us this Thursday too for a new challenge! ~Cheryl, Senior DT

ReplyDeleteWow, I love this designer paper you created. What a wonderful card. Love the colours and the chevron. Thanks for the hint about the 1" punch and the Six-Sided Sampler set.
ReplyDeleteCute pictures of Cassidy and Trent having their fun in the sun.
I love Stampin' Up!'s DSP, but I also like to make my own. This is really cute, LeAnne!
ReplyDeleteLove the stamping on this! & always enjoy your pics of your granddaughter... oh how I wish I was still small enough to comfortably enjoy a baby pool!
ReplyDeleteThese colors are awesome!! I love what you've done with them and your use of this set! :)
ReplyDeleteOh my gosh, LeAnne! I actually squealed when I saw this on the blog...{squeal}!! LOVE it and your hand-stamped DSP is to die for. I really did think it was DSP and had to go looking in the catty until I figured out you stamped it! Fabulous job spacing the images and the little fussy-cut camera is perfect! Thanks for rockin' my colors this week! ((hugs))
ReplyDeleteYour paper turned out awesome! I thought it was dsp. Thanks for joining us for this week's A.R.T. challenge!
ReplyDeleteLOVE the DSP!!!!!! While I know we have great DSP ready to go...there are just sometimes the right colors aren't available. This is a FANTASTIC design!
ReplyDeleteLove it!!
This set was second on my list in the new catty because of that little camera! I absolutely LOVE this card! The patterned background you created is awesome, my friend! :)
